Spurgeon-Dickson Associates

Awareness training for Key staff

Why do I need awareness training?

  • The British Dyslexia Association state that 10% of the workforce is dyslexic. That means 10% of your employees, customers, suppliers, collegues, associates, and employers are dyslexic.
  • Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, dyslexia is classed as a disability. Employers need to know how they can adjust current practices to support dyslexic individuals and ensure they are compliant with the DDA.
  • Training is appropriate for all staff as it will help to meet the needs of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995/2004.
  • Training will improve understanding of dyslexia and issues around it.
  • Courses cover "reasonable adjustments" and how these can be implimented, thereby improving your organisation's requirememnts of the DDA.

We can :

  • Provide one-to-one training consultancy and dyslexia awareness courses that can be translated to the needs of your organisation.
  • Inspire people to realise full potential within the workplace or learning environment
  • We design and deliver high quality learning and development solutions
  • Give awareness talks, workshops, presentations, and insets for schools, colleges, universities and employers.
